At first I was happy with him but in the last 4 years he became a horrible doctor. He's happy to give you an Rx so you go away but doesn't care to look into anything deeper with tests. He refused MRI testing on me for a new problem that he mansplained was an old injury. In recent years he looked tired and sometimes like he just woke up. He's very robotic and pretends to care but really doesn't. He thinks that reading the computer screen is taking time to explain to you. He's dismissive. If you push him for care (testing) the curated nice tone of voice and nice guy mask drops and he has no problem asserting his MD power over you to make you feel small and disarm you to feel powerless. Anyone that gives him a good review must not have chronic illness and goes for routine annual exams or a flu. You can tell he is just an MD employee for Facey. Caring more for protocols and quotas than individual plan of care. Facey the medical group is priority over the patient care. Office staff was fair. Witnessed them a few times talking negatively about patients. read more

Ladies- if you're looking for a doctor to be dismissive, downplay your pain and anxiety and mansplain your chronic illness that you've had for 25 years? Dr Dao is your man! Gentlemen? Looking for a doctor who dismisses your pain as no big deal and you end up in ER with emergency hernia surgery? Or better yet, a doctor who tells you pain medication for acute pancreatitis "will only make your pain worse," when WebMd, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland clinic, Harvard and NIH say the first thing to do is manage the pain, then fast or eat a limited diet? He's definitely your man. But, if you're looking for a doctor to be a human being, not a sadist, not a robot, but someone who listens and cares? Go find anyone else with a pulse. read more

Not authentic. Likes to defer elsewhere. While under his care he missed a diagnosis that was reckless because he didn't want to have anything to do with me because of my hard health issues. Would not recommend. read more

Just got home from my first visit to this amazing Doctor. Wow..I hit the jackpot. My husband had his first appointment with him about a month or so ago and told me I am going to love him . And I do!! So kind..so thorough....so professional. Great bedside manner. Never made me feel like he was looking at his watch and I was just another number. He asked questions ..he listened.... he checked everything from my eyes to my ears to my nose to my chest to my back and of course down below lol. I always dread that part of the exam but thank God this doctor does it thoroughly and doesn't skip over it like the doctors I've been seeing the past five years. I feel like I won the lottery today finding this doctor and I hope he will be mine for a very long time!! Thank you Doc!! read more

Dr Dao is AMAZING! He has been my new PCP for the past 6 months or so and I am so glad I found him. Every time I see him, he makes me feel comfortable and is open to any and all questions I have. He takes his time to explain things thoroughly and go through all options available. He is extremely kind, approachable, and informative, and I never feel that he's in a rush or unwilling to listen to my thoughts or concerns, as I have felt with previous providers. His office staff is amazing and organized as well. It's also super convenient to have labs done at the same office without appt needed. He's my husband's doc as well and my husband has had a pleasant experience also. Thanks again Dr Dao! read more

Dr. Dao has been my PCP for less than a year and every time I see him he amazes me. He is very professional and takes time to explain things. I don't ever feel that he is rushing to the next patient. I've made two appointments and so far I have not waited in the waiting room for more than 5-10 mins and when they take me in the room to be seen it's not longer than a few mins after. Thanks again !!! read more

I was initially very upset when this doctor didn't see me. However he took the time today to apologize for not being able to see me. I found that to be very respectful and professional of him. So because of this experience I had to fix my review. read more

Dr. Dao has been my PCP for more than 2 years. He is kind, caring, respectful, conscientious and takes the time to explain everything and answer any questions I have. In my appointments, he is always fully present with me and takes the time to listen. I also feel like he's continuously learning to be able to better help his patients. I have been to many doctors in my life, and I am very selective. Dr. Dao has been the best PCP I have ever had, and I highly recommend him. read more

Found Dr. Dao in Yelp when I was looking for a doctor close to my office and home. He is amazing!!!

Dr. Dao is my PCP and he was awful to me. He body shamed me. He saw my vitals were perfect and that I work out 4 days a week, but still had the audacity to say I need to eat less. Very insensitive. Especially for someone with a history of eating disorders and depression. I was there to get a pap smear which he didn't perform because he said women don't need them every year. How are we supposed to detect early signs of cancer if we don't get yearly exams? I haven't visited for 2 years because I was so ashamed. I have since gone to urgent care for all my problems than see him. read more

The 5-star is for Dr.Dao. He is the most gentle, compassionate and understanding Doctor you could ask for. He is quick in getting back to my weekly fan letters (emails), which makes me, and I am sure many of his other patients wanting to come back into his office for all of our ailments. Not once did I ever feel like I was rushed when I was in his office for an appointment, as he took the time to explain everything that was going on, even for someone like me who is in the medical field as well (RN-student). Plus, when he is charting on his computer, he actually pulls it up in front of you, and writes in the chart as you describe to him the reason for your visit. I hope that when I graduate, my hospital will have health insurance that has Facey Medical Group as my HCP, because this Dr. is a true embodiment of what being a professional in the caring field is like. read more

Dr. Dao is fantastic. I'm a little reticent to give such glowing reviews as I'd like to selfishly keep him to myself but that would be doing a disservice to such a great doctor! He is young, but I think that makes him more eager to build his practice which means great things for his patients. Overall, I went for a check-up and went away feeling great. He's extremely thorough, doesn't rush you through the questions and very transparent about potential costs. I went in with some symptoms and he advised me on which labs to get to maximize what I got given my insurance situation. I'll definitely be sticking with Dr. Dao and reccomending him to close friends. PS. One downside is the paid parking. Boo. If you build in enough time, I recommend finding some street parking as it's a mandatory $8 fee with no validation available. read more

Dr. Dao is very caring doctor. He relates well to people and takes time to listen and takes appropriate action on the symptoms.He is nice , caring and very knowledgeable doctor. His staff is very professional and friendly. read more

I have been searching for a good doctor since I moved to LA from Arizona. All of the doctors I have visited have been extremely rude and/or disrespectful. Dr. Dao was none of those things! It was such a breath of fresh air. My appointment was at 1:45, and the nurse called me in around 1:40. I was called in early for a doctor's appointment? Unheard of! It was amazing. I am writing this after I had my first physical with him a couple of days ago. I had to visit the office prior to that due to a "medical emergency", and had an appointment with one of the other doctors in the office. Dr. Dao had read my file before entering my room, and knew everything that was going on. I didn't have to explain anything! That is so rare. He was also very attentive, polite, and actually listened to my concerns without making me feel stupid. (I'm not a doctor, so I probably sound ridiculous when explaining things that are wrong with me, but he didn't make me feel like an idiot. Most doctors scoff and disregard my concerns, but not Dr. Dao! I'll admit I can be a bit of a hypochondriac, so it was nice to have my doctor listen and consider my concerns.) I had to get my Pap, and he was very gentle and explained everything he did as he went. No surprise pains, no discomfort. Never at any point during the appointment did I feel rushed. He never made me feel like he had to leave to tend to the next patient, as most doctors do. Never did I feel like I waited on him. He exited the room after my pap for me to get dressed, and returned in a timely manner. I'm usually waiting around forever for a doctor to come back, but I was very pleased with his quickness. At the end of my appointment, he sat down with me and went over the summary of the appointment. NEVER has a doctor done that before. He is the best doctor I could ask for, and if you're looking for someone that cares about you, go to Dr. Dao! I cannot stress enough how this was one of my best experiences with a doctor. read more

Dr. Dao is one of the best doctors I have had in a long time. You're always nervous when selecting a new primary care doctor but after my first visit I was completely and totally confident that I was going to be happy with Dr. Dao. He took his time to listen to my concerns and addressed each one of them clearly and with care. I felt like he really cared about my well being and wasn't just trying to get me out of his office quickly so he could move on to the next patient. I can't recommend him highly enough and it's clear why he has so many high ratings. read more

Wow such well respected Doctor I really respect him. Very detailed oriented, Very Thorough with every procedure. I would comeback to him for sure. I highly recommend this doctor. Of course like any other doctor he gets busy because he's so popular we all have to understand. But Such an Outstanding Doctor he is. Unfortunately I had my plan change to Kaiser Permanente If I could would certainly comeback to him. Great Staff! Especially her Medical Assistant and Laura the receptionist. So friendly and great attitude. Over all very patient with me. Dr. Dao also very quick on Online Messages or Refill Rx he deserves such a great staff. read more

Update: it seems all was well when all he had to do was write me a prescription and send me on my way. Recently I have been in pain and unable to get any help from Dr Dao. All he wants to do is refer me to someone else. When the other doctor still could not figure out why I'm in pain, I came back asking Dr Dao to schedule some more tests for me. He refused. So if all you need is a 'how ya doin, here's your pills' then great. If you require compassion or assistance don't even bother, it's far too much trouble to even call in an MRI or ultrasound. The level of laziness in California has reached an all time high. As I have now told him directly, I want a physician that will help me and work with me rather than pass me off to someone else and then refuse to help beyond that. So it's 'oh, come back so I can write you some more anti-depression meds and submit my quota to big pharma but don't you dare ask for any real assistance.' Actual medical help is waning in this country and especially in California - "take your pills and go away." I had to call my doc in another state just to get an MRI - that's highly frustrating. ---original review --- I've seen him only twice so far but both times he has been attentive and friendly. Dr. Dao even turns his computer screen so you can see your file and everything he's writing. THAT is transparency. The only con I have is that it can be difficult to get an appointment - sometimes a month out or more. That's what I get for living in an overpopulated city, though . All in all I am glad I found him. read more

I can't begin to explain how much I like Dr. Dao. He's an amazing doctor that's always ready to help. He always explain everything for you clear and concise. Can't get better then him! Best doctor I've had in years!! Highly Highly Recommended!!! read more

I am very impressed with Dr. Dao and his whole office. From start to finish they were professional, thorough, and compassionate. This is important because I wasn't just going in for a routine check up. I was sick. I felt terrible. The last thing in the world I wanted to do was leave my house and be poked and prodded. They were warm and comforting. The minute I walked into the office I felt like I was going to be taken well care of. Specifically, Dr Dao was clear with his questions. Told me what he was going to do and why. Offered his suggestions for treatment and why those suggestions. I have a feeling this will be my PCP for a long time to come. read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Dao enough! He actually LISTENS to his patients and works with them to find solutions. In addition to being extremely professional, he is also friendly and kind which I think is important. He also helped me find the right medications for my anxiety and depression after many years of trial and error with other doctors. read more

Great doctor! So professional, attentive and detailed. I have seen him 3 times and very happy with the care and the treatment plan.

Facey Medical group is a great practice! Everyone was so nice and professional from the front desk to the nurses and Dr. Dao. I arrived early to fill out paper work and was called in right at my appointment time. Its always awkward after you put your gown on and sit in the room waiting, but Dr. Dao was prompt and didn't keep my waiting long at all. He was very thorough and answered all of my questions. He has great bed side manner and is very intelligent. Coming from the east coast I'm glad to say I found my new primary that I can feel comfortable with and confident that I'm receiving great care. read more

Dr. Dao is a rare thing for a dr: He really cares about you and does his best to help you out. Very good Dr.! read more

Honestly the best doctor. Nice nice nice... and very thorough and he LISTENS! Glad I followed the other Yelp reviewers and made an appointment here. I needed a primary physician, one who took my insurance, and I was able to find Dr. Dao. I had to wait a while to get in, about 2 months for my first appointment, but I waited. Luckily I didn't have any serious ailment so I could wait. If you can, wait it out and see Dr. Dao. He followed through on blood tests I took and personally called me to let me know how it went. Awesome. The wait time at the doctor's office was minimal. And getting the blood tests was awesome because you just go to the back of the office so it's not like you have to leave to go somewhere else and come back. Everything is right there - one stop shop! Awesome!! read more

Words can not express how happy I am I found Doctor Dao! He always explains everything in a way you can totally understand what is being said and really takes the time to make sure I understand. I recently fell and couldn't walk for a month and he was such a helpful force explaining what I needed to do to make sure I would be back to normal in no time. (And I was) And because I was the ER the night before, (Saint Joseph, right near him) when I was wheeled in, he had already reviewed my x-rays and was ready to help. I also had my physical today and I walked away with all the answers I needed and my fears set aside. I can not recommend him highly enough. If you are looking for a doctor, look no further! I am even of the mind frame that if my insurance ever changes, I would gladly pay cash to be able to continue seeing him. read more

Dr. Dao has been my PCP for almost 2 years. He is fantastic, very detail oriented, and extremely compassionate. He is quick to address any of my questions by email or phone. read more

Dude... Seriously... You should make Dr. Dao your primary care physician. I have to start off by saying that I've had a few bad doctors in the past -- bad enough that I decided I never wanted a male doctor again. But then I stumbled upon Dr. Dao. I found his name when changing my medical group under my insurance plan. The funny thing is, I would have passed over him if I had been able to identify his first name as male. But I couldn't -- (which I feel stupid admitting, LOL) -- so I looked him up on Yelp. And even though I felt uneasy when I discovered his gender, his four little glowing reviews sealed the deal. The accompanying photo was also reassuring; it's easier to trust someone when you can put a face to their name. So I felt cautiously optimistic about him. The first moment I met and spoke with Dr. Dao was during his building's annual fire drill -- which happened to coincide with my appointment time. Dr. Dao helped escort me out (since he knew I was his patient) as everyone left the building. He stayed with me the entire time, making polite small talk and ensuring that I wasn't standing there all alone. This really impressed me and made me feel comfortable right off the bat. When we reentered the building and completed the rest of the exam, I realized just how awesome Dr. Dao is: He's incredibly professional without being stiff. He's warm and caring without being inappropriately chummy. And he's just very compassionate, thorough, and knowledgeable. He wants you to understand exactly what's going on with your health. He even printed me a copy of his notes from our exam, and went so far as to explain the etymology of the word "neoplasm." It was super nerdy and endearing! Haha! And he never rushed me. In fact, I asked him a last-minute question in the hallway after we finished the exam. Another woman (a nurse or friend?) was a few feet from us and clearly waiting to get his attention. I felt guilty for bothering him at that moment, but he made me feel as if my question was very important and took the time to answer it fully. Nothing in his speech or body language belied a desire to rush away. Amazing! Bottom line is, Dr. Dao is truly awesome: smart, caring, professional, the whole package. I can't reiterate how much I like and trust him. I'm excited and relieved to have him as my new primary care physician! read more

Dr. Dao is amazing! He is efficient, honest and does not order unnecessary tests and services. He is young, healthy and embodies health (practices what he teaches). I definitely recommend Dr. Dao! read more

Dr. Dao is my physician and he's amazing. I switched over from another doctor who excelled in scaring the crap out of this hypochondriac. Dr. Dao is intelligent, calling and I trust his advice and care. The Burbank facility is new and beautiful, too. I feel very lucky to have him as my doctor. read more

I had a great experience with the Facey Medical Group. I met with Dr. Dao and he was thorough & I felt like he genuinely cared about all of the concerns I had. He asked me a lot of questions and offered a lot of great information. This was my first visit and he made me feel very comfortable & at ease with everything. I highly recommend Dr. Dao to anyone who needs a doctor who is a great listener & knows his stuff! read more

I originally came to Dr Dao when I was coughing for 3 three weeks and it seemed to be taking away my breathing. All he told me was it was a cold and that I need to take my vitamins. He did not listen to anything I had said and was just smiling the whole time eager to give me medication and have me be on my way. I was sick for a total of 2 months. I refuse to go out of my way to meet with him, California has the worst health practice read more

I've been going to Dr. Dao for about 3 years now and I am so happy to be his patient. I have seen dozens of doctors throughout my life and never, EVER, have I felt like "I have a doctor" (if that makes any sense). I only had people that I went to when I was sick. Now, however, I not only have "a doctor", I have one that is caring, gentle and thorough!! In other words, excellent on all counts. His staff is also great. I can't recommend him enough. read more

My experience with Dr. Dao has been one that I am extremely happy with. His office is spotless and most importantly I feel 100% comfortable and trust Dr. Dao with all of my Health needs. For example like the previous post said he never rushes when he assesses you and is there to answer any questions and explain everything to you. I was just impressed with the whole experience. Also on a side note you can view all of your lab results and details of the visit ( vitals, ect) on the computer or through a secure app. read more

I think Dr. Dao is the best doctor I've been to. He is extremely nice and informative. He went over everything with me so I would feel comfortable and understand what I was going through. All the staff as well we're very nice and helpful. They even got me in same day which I really appreciate. If ur looking for a new care provider I would highly recommend him. read more

Finding a good doctor has always been a challenge, as so many seem more concerned with seeing as many patients as possible and allowing their nurses to handle most of the exam. If you're lucky, you might get 5 minutes time and maybe 1-2 questions asked. Dr. Dao is completely different. He takes the time to get to know you and your family, asks questions, gives you time to ask questions, checks in with you during the exam and genuinely cares. I originally chose Dr Dao due to the proximity of his office to mine. I recently changed jobs and find myself 25 miles away but am not switching to a new physician. I know it sounds old-fashioned, but Dr Dao really cares about his patients. It's so refreshing to feel like you're being treated as a person and not just another customer. I highly recommend Dr Dao read more

Dr. Dao is GREAT! He is very thorough and kind. I've visited him twice now. Each time I felt taken cared of and not being rushed. He answered to all the questions that I had and more. I really like that he doesn't suggest any treatment that is not necessary. The wait time had been less than 10 minutes. He is now my go to doctor. My husband will be going there, too. read more

Finding a good family doctor can be difficult, but after a great deal of searching, my husband and I found Dr. Dao. I'll begin with the reception desk staff/nurses who were easy to work with and very helpful. Especially with the incredible amount of paperwork to be filled out on the first visit. The nurse who took our vitals was friendly and made you feel at ease when talking to you. The visit with Dr. Dao was very thorough. He addressed all the concerns and questions we had and explains everything (in terms you can understand) throughout the exam process. I liked the fact that he didn't rush us through (unlike our previous doctor) like we were a number or quota to be met. Dr. Dao is a true professional who shows genuine concern about his patients health and well being. My husband and I are glad we found a great family doctor. Bill & Kim read more

I made an appointment with Dr. Dao last year for the very first time for a physical. He is very helpful and knowledgeable. I was very happy to finally find a doctor that cares! If you're in search for a doctor look no further! :D read more

He is the sweetest Dr you will ever have. He is thorough with you and takes care of his patients questions and needs.

Humble and Attentive and extremely thorough. Best doctor experience I have had. I was not asked to write this review , and found him through Yelp. My visit was great. read more
